Tools it offers

5 tools, as the server itself reported during our check on Oct 31, 2026.

get_departuresReturn a Live Times departure board for a known canonical stop ID. Optionally filter by route pattern or by up to 5 destinations.
find_stopsResolve a named place with Apple Maps when needed, then find nearby stops or stations so callers can pass a stop_id to get_departures. For ambiguous names, include near or country_code. If the user asks for a train, sele
search_placesReturn up to 5 Apple Maps place candidates with Momego place IDs. Use this proactively when an origin or destination name is ambiguous, then pass the selected place ID to plan_journey.
plan_journeyReturn compact step-by-step public transit directions between named places. Resolves names with Apple Maps and returns clarification candidates rather than guessing when a place is ambiguous.
get_city_summaryReturn Live Bus Times and Live Train Times coverage metadata and canonical links for a supported city.
